He walked up to the pool table, and leaned against it with his hip.
Crossing his arms, he slightly smirked confidently, "It's your turn," I said, watching his every move. He smiled, and leaned down to take his shot. I almost sighed as I watched his evident muscles moving beneath his clothes. He was obviously very fit. I found myself staring unblinkingly at his back muscles as they moved and contracted as he shot the cue ball. The cue ball expertly hit one of others as it sank into the middle hole. Tyler, who felt the tension in the air, forfeited the game, and left before he could make his turn.
This continued on for some time until each of us had only one ball left. I couldn't stop staring at him in between my turns. He was so handsome, so captivating. I couldn't find anything to say. My tongue felt like sand paper; I was afraid I walked the few steps up to the pool table, on and angle with the cue ball. I angled my shot, and aimed the cue ball towards the ball.
"Good luck," he said out of the blue. I was so startled that I missed the ball completely, and the cue ball went down the hole instead. I stood up nimrod straight and stared at him.
"You cheated," I frowned, placing my hands on my hips. He chuckled and shook his head.
"How was I to know that you were so easily distracted?" he chuckled a bit more, until he took his aim. He leaned over the table, and I took this as my chance to shake the table. It didn't move the cue ball enough for him to miss, but he was leaning to heavily on the table that he lost his balance and therefore he lost his aim. He ended up missing the cue ball completely, hitting only air instead. Chuckling, he stood back up and started inquisitively at me. I just blinked my eyes innocently, while smirking victoriously on the inside.
"What, I lost my balance. It's not my fault that I 'accidentally' shook the table, or that you were leaning so much on the table. It was a happy accident," I said innocently. He chucked even more, shaking his head.
"How about we call it a tie? It's getting late anyways," he proposed, glancing towards the windows. It was already past dusk.
"Oh, I can go all night. I'm practically a creature of the night," I laughed at my own joke. He stared curiously at me, and I wondered how much he knew about me. Obviously he was a vampire since he held no heartbeat.
"Aren't you going to the high school? It starts tomorrow, you should get some sleep before you're first day," he reasoned. I sighed, finally deciding to give in.
"Fine, but only if you drive me. Tyler drove me, and he left a while ago. I can't believe he would ditch me like that, I thought we were getting to be good friends," I joked, shaking my head as I looked down as the dark, wooden floor.
"Sure, we can go now, if that's ok," he said, grabbing his jacket off of a bench. I smiled, and nodded. Keeping his hand on the small of my back, and led me out of the Grill, and towards the parking lot. I internally smiled; his hand felt so warm and comforting on me, even if my skin was covered. He led me to a vintage red car and opened the passenger door for me. I smiled and got in as gracefully as I could.
"What a gentleman. Thank you very much, sir." I chuckled. He smiled and closed the door gently. While he was walking around the car I buckled in my seatbelt. Soon he was in the driver's seat, and had started the car (after buckling his seatbelt).
"Ready?" He smiled, looking over at me.
"Yeah, take me home," I smiled charmingly.
"Just tell me the directions as we go," he said, driving out of the parking lot.
